Industrial batteries...designed for 1500 cycles at 80% DOD

Trojan's Industrial line of deep-cycle batteries is the newest addition to Trojan's lineage of high-quality flooded batteries. The Industrial line is engineered specifically to support renewable energy systems with large daily loads where the batteries are cycled regularly. These high amp-hour capacity batteries are ideal for use in large off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems, off-grid hybrid PV systems, grid-tied PV systems with battery backup, smart grid peak shifting systems and a variety of other applications. Tested to meet both IEC and BCI standards, the Industrial line features advanced battery technologies that deliver reliable power and is housed in a dual container construction for enhanced battery protection. Trojan’s Industrial line is the perfect combination of performance and function.

A separator of glass fibers serves to isolate the positive and negative plates while acting as a blotter to absorb the electrolyte. The separator is maintained under compression between plates to assure contact with plate surfaces. A computer-generated grid design is optimized for high-power density. Low calcium grid alloy reduces gas emissions and a flame arresting, one-way pressure relief vent prevents buildup of excessive pressure. Trojan’s deep-cycle AGM batteries are low temperature tolerant, shock and vibration resistant and have a low internal resistance for higher discharge current and higher charging efficiency.

Trojan's deep-cycle gel batteries

are sealed, maintenance-free batteries that deliver superior power in demanding renewable energy applications. Engineered for rugged durability, outstanding performance and long battery life, Trojan’s deep-cycle gel batteries feature a number of important design characteristics that provide significant advantages over competing gel products.

The gelled electrolyte is a proprietary formulation containing sulfuric acid, fumed silica, pure demineralized, deionized water and a phosphoric acid additive. This exclusive formulation produces a homogenous gel that delivers consistent performance and dramatically long cycle life. The heavy-duty grids lock active material onto the grid network to efficiently deliver more concentrated energy to the terminals. Premium grade, double-insulated separators allow maximum charge flow between the plates for optimum performance.

HydroLink™ – Watering System

Proper maintenance and periodic watering are important factors in maximizing the performance and life of Trojan deep-cycle, flooded batteries. Battery maintenance can be a costly, time-consuming and messy job. With Trojan’s HydroLink™ advanced, single-point watering system, precise battery watering is made easy saving valuable time and money.

Convenient InstallationTrojan’s HydroLink watering system is specifically designed to work with Trojan 6-volt and 12-volt flooded batteries* and takes the guess work out of properly watering flooded batteries. With a simple installation of the HydroLink manifolds and the tubing, the system is ready for use. Once installed, a complete set of batteries can be filled in less than 30 seconds.

HydroLink™ VentThe HydroLink™ vent assembly is unique and features an independent water level indicator, valve shut off and dual flame arrestors.

Independent Water Level IndicatorMaintaining the proper electrolyte level can extend the performance and life of Trojan flooded batteries. However, determining the correct level can be a challenge. Trojan’s HydroLink vent features an independent water level indicator that accurately displays whether a battery needs watering. A white indicator signals that the battery needs water. A black indicator signals that the battery has enough water…it’s that simple.

Valve Shut OffThe valve shut off accurately controls cell electrolyte levels. Using a balanced valve design the shut off valves automatically cut the water flow into the individual cells eliminating the potential of overflow or acid splash caused by overfilling. HydroLink’s valve shut off works in conjunction with the hose end assembly and flow indicator to provide precise battery watering.

Dual Flame ArrestorsThe HydroLink system is equipped with dual flame arrestors, an important safety feature not standard on other watering systems. The internal flame arrestors prevent internal sparks from passing through the watering system to neighboring cells while the external flame arrestor prevents external sparks from entering the Trojan battery.

PROJECT CCRES SPIRULINA

PROJECT CCRES SPIRULINA 'The ongoing support from the private investment community speaks to how strongly they believe in the development of Green Crude as an alternative fuel resource, especially ability to commercialize it', says Branka Kalle, President of Council CCRES. Few consider seaweeds as a viable source of energy and protein for terrestrial animals (at least until their cost becomes more attractive). Macro-algae have been shown, however, to possess several functional properties, including those of a functional fiber, with immune-stimulating and prebiotic effects. Today, marine algal extracts are used as an additive in pig and poultry diets with promising results. Furthermore, micro-algae have been shown to contain high levels of beneficial lipids that can be used in layer and sow diets as a source of omega-3 fatty acids. Finally, both types of algae are used as an active component in clay-based anti-mycotoxin agents. For example, the treatment of clay with a macro-algal extract has been shown to increase the reactive surface of clay up to eight times. Croatian Center of Renewable Energy Sources (CCRES) offers several solutions that support the nutritional part of the production system. CCRES solutions combine algae feed additive products with their services, e.g. gut quality scoring, product application systems and customised dosing advice.

PROJECT CCRES ALGAE BIOFUEL

PROJECT CCRES ALGAE BIOFUEL 'Given the right conditions, algae can double its volume overnight. Microalgae are the earth’s most productive plants –– 10 to 15 times more prolific in biomass than the fastest growing land plant exploited for biofuel production. While soy produces some 50 gallons of oil per acre per year; canola, 150 gallons; and palm, 650 gallons, algae can produce up to 15,000 gallons per acre per year. In addition, up to 50 percent (or more) of algae biomass (dry weight) is comprised of oil, whereas oil-palm trees—currently the most efficient large-scale source of feedstock oil to make biofuels—yield approximately 20 percent of their weight in oil', says Zeljko Serdar, President of CCRES
